Today's Good Things:
Took some extra time to nap on my husband's last day off of work
Ate my oatmeal this morning ;)
Did some kitchen clean up, laundry chores, and sweeping around the house today
Today's Not So Good Things:
Cookies for dessert. Sigh. (there are NO more cookies in the house anymore, thankfully)
Massive headache and neckpain since yesterday. Ouch.
So, I got on the scale today. Drumroll please.......209lbs.
I'm down 19 pounds from my last OB weigh-in!! I canNOT believe it! They said I was heavy on fluid and I guess they were right! My lowest point of weight loss before I got pregnant was 206, but I had gained back a couple pounds by the time I had a positive test. I can't believe I'm back at my starting point again. What a gift!!
So, now I've got another great source of motivation and I'm so happy. That mountain I climbed doesn't have to be climbed again. I can start where I left off and keep pressing on. I do, however, need to rebuild the strength that I lost while dealing with my pregnancy. That's going to be a challenge, for sure. But I already know I will feel so good for doing it.
I've set my weight loss goal for 1.5 pounds down each week. I don't know how that will work these first few weeks when I'm not getting in any real exercise, but it's worth aiming for. I'm off to work on my daily/weekly goals and be sure my long term goals are still in line.
I'm excited to get back into reading everyone else's progress and joining in on the encouragement towards you ladies. :)
Tracy, that *is* a blessing. :) And, I'm guessing you aren't completely done losing that baby weight either... it's very possible you'll continue to drop a little more. At least for me, I find that I usually am dropping weight until 6-8 weeks postpartum... of course it slows way down after the first several weeks, but I still naturally drop it. I am so excited to have you on the path again! I look forward to seeing you around and updating! Enjoy snuggling that little dollie of yours, though... you are still post-partum... :) You are right though, you can make healthier food choices, even if you can't exercise yet!
